Thing #10

This is my first experience with a newsreader. I have found it very useful! One thing I like about newsreaders is that you can subscribe to many things that interest you and it is all available in one place. You don't have to keep up with all of the RSS sites that you want to be informed about. I like that the RSS updates automatically on the newsreader. The Google Reader was very simple to use. All I had to do to subscribe to an RSS was to plug in the URL in the subscribe box and click "add" beside it. I believe the newsreader technology would be very useful for me in my personal and professional life. I could keep up with RSS sites that could give me advice about things that I use in my daily life. I believe that teachers could use this new technology to keep up with RSS sites that could help them in their classroom. For example, the Free Technology for Teachers website is an RSS site that could provide advice to teachers on which technology would be useful to use in the classroom. Teachers may be able to create an RSS site for their students to use to keep up with assignments or upcoming events.
